Question

spending $6 per day. Nick has no
money but is earning $8 each day. After how many days will they have the same amount of money?

Answer 1

Let's solve this problem step by step.

Let's assume that after "x" days, Perry and Nick will have the same amount of money.

After "x" days, Perry will have $350 - ($6 * x) dollars.
After "x" days, Nick will have $8 * x dollars.

We can set up an equation to find the value of "x":
$350 - ($6 * x) = $8 * x

Let's solve for x:
$350 - 6x = 8x
350 = 8x + 6x
350 = 14x
x = 350 / 14
x ≈ 25

After approximately 25 days, Perry and Nick will have the same amount of money.
